Mastery Learning and Gamification

Gamification and Mastery Learning

by Keenan Kibrick

Today's Blog Post is the first part in multi-part series on Gamification and Education. Each of these videos will cover a small part about the concept of Gamificaiton and Education. Each video shows a concept from video games that relates to prior models of education, and how they have been merged in schools to improve education. Today's first video is on the topic of Gamification and Mastery Learning. I hope you will all use the information to improve education in the classroom. When you do please let me know about your successes so that I can compile a list of successful implementations.

Finally a special thanks to Erik Ward of the Oxnard Union High School District who taught me about Gamification and Education. The teachers of his district were inspiring and are some of the examples in this video. I hope you all will enjoy.
